A LOT 50 FEET WIDE
WOULD BE SUITABLE
FOR THIS BUILDING
For $1650.00 we agree to furnish all the material complete, necessary to build
this eight-room house, consisting of all lumber, lath, shingles, flooring, floor lining,
sheathing, building paper, doors, windows, trim, millwork, spouting, guttering,
tinwork, sash weights, hardware, nails and painting material; everything complete,
excepting labor, brick, cement and plaster (which We do not furnish). «,
We guarantee our quantities of materials to be sufficient to build this house according to our plan Ho. 120.
The cost of brick, cement, plaster and labor, which are not included in our price,
will naturally vary some in different localities, but by allowing a fair average price for
these items, this house should be built for not to exceed $3628.00 , including the labor
and all material complete.
Our total estimate costs are conservative, and these prices will generally save 25%
to 40%, and in some locations as high as 50% (one-half) the cost of the building.
MOST PLEASING TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION
Popular favor has placed its stamp of approval upon the stucco house. In this design will
be found one of the most pleasing types of this class of construction both from artistic and eco-
nomical standpoints.
The reception hall into which one enters directly from the front entrance is particularly
large and roomy. From here a handsome run of stairs extends to the second floor. A built-in
seat at the foot of the stairway is another pleasing feature. The living room is ideal with its
heavy beamed ceiling and fireplace. From here one may pass through the French doors directly
to an inclosed porch which may be converted into an out-of-door living room in summer. The
kitchen is well lighted and convenient; the pantry close at hand and fitted with a built-in cup-
board. Back stairs from this end of the house also lead to the second floor, while another flight
leads to the basement.
Four large chambers and a bath are found on the second story. One bedroom is especially
spacious and contains a beautiful fireplace mantel No. 3356. This floor contains ample closet
space.
The entire first floor is of oak, with oak flooring, oak stairs and oak doors. The second floor
is of clear southern yellow pine. All shellac, filler and varnish for interior finish supplied by us.

In quoting the above price we contemplate using the best "A" quality siding for exterior.
If shingles are wanted instead of siding for outside walls, add $36.00.

Our total estimate costs are conservative, and these prices will generally save
25% to 40%, and in some locations as high as 50% (one-half) the cost of the building.
One of the chief objections to the bungalow type of building by the uninformed is the supposition that they art
not sufficiently warm and substantial for the climate of the northern states.
Our bungalows embody all of the artistic features of those designed for the climate of California, but are at,
warm and substantial as any building erected in the north. In other words, the construction is the same as that
of every other building erected in this climate, including sheathing, floor lining and heavy building paper.
This design contains six rooms and is very popular. ThB front porch extends entirely across the building, and
from here one enters immediately into a handsome living room with modern beamed ceiling, fireplace, built-in seats
and beautiful colonnade, the latter dividing it from the dining room. The dining room has a built-in sideboard and
large bay windows. A sink and cupboard are contained in the convenient, well-lighted kitchen.
All the bedrooms are located on one side of the house. All are large, comfortable and have plenty of cloMt
space. The bathroom is easily accessible and is strictly modern.
The living and dining rooms are finished in oak and have oak floors. All interior finish for the balance ot the
house is clear southern yellow pine. All necessary filler, shellac and varnish are included In our bill.
All shingle stain, as well as paints for trimmings, for exterior, your choice of colors, are supplied by u».

ORIGINALITY IN HOME BUILDING
When not carried to extreme, originality in home building is to be commended. It is a
manifestation of the spirit that is not bound by conventionalism.
In this bungalow, old ideas have to some extent been disregarded and an effort has been
made to combine beauty and comfort in a building that will be appreciated by all true home
lovers. The very simplicity of the design will strongly appeal to the discriminating.
The front porch is sufficiently large and well protected to form an out-of-door room during
tne summer months. A front door of our Wilmette design opens into an exceptionally roomy
parlor, through which one passes to the dining room. One of the features of this room is the
splendid built-in sideboard. The kitchen and pantry are both well lighted and convenient.
j m Dedrooms and bath are separated from the main living room and are reached only
by a door from the dining room. By many this arrangement is considered ideal. Each bedroom
is well ventilated and has plenty of closet space.
The interior finish is of oak throughout with oak flooring and oak doors. We supply finish-
ing material. Outside paint for two coats, your choice of color.

The exterior of this handsome six room house lends an exceedingly homelike appearance
to the building. But not only is the outside treatment to be commended; the interior arrange-
ment for a home of this size is ideal.

wide openings, giving the interior an appearance of even greater size. From the hall a handiome
stairway leads to the second floor. A well lighted kitchen is within convenient distance from
both pantry and dining room. The basement is reached by stairs extending from pantry.
The three bedrooms and bath on the second floor open directly into a large main hall. The
large tower bedroom is especially desirable, being very cozy and light. A better building for the
money would be difficult to secure.

sheathing, building paper, doors, windows, trim, millwork, spouting, guttering'
tinwork, sash weights, hardware, nails and painting material; everything complete
excepting labor, brick, cement and plaster (which we do not furnish).
We guarantee our quantities of materials to be sufficient to build this house according to our plan No. 134,
The cost of brick, cement, plaster and labor, which is not included in our price, will
naturally vary some in different localities; but by allowing a fair average price for these
items this house should be built for not to exceed $2100.00 including the labor and all
material complete.
Our total estimate costs are conservative, and these prices will generally save 25%
to 40%, and in some locations as high as 50% (one-half) the cost of the building.
NO EXCESSIVE ORNAMENTATION
The simple dignity of this comfortable cottage is highly pleasing. There is no excessive
ornamentation, no wasted space, no frills. Every square foot of space is accounted for and adds
its full share in making a harmonious whole.
The front porch extends across the front of the building and back a considerable distance
on each side, which makes it especially large.
The front door of our Chicago pattern opens into a vestibule which leads directly to the
Parlor, from which room stairs extend to the second floor. The dining room is large and pleas-
ant. The kitchen and pantry are convenient and well lighted.
There are three bedrooms and a large bath on the second floor, all opening into the main
hall. A feature that will appeal to the housewife is the unusual amount of closet space, five
large closets being located on this floor.
The interior of this entire house is finished in clear southern yellow pine. Shellac and
varnish for finishing supplied by us. The outside is to be painted two coats, your choice of color.

CHICAGO MILLWORK SUPPLY CO.'S
PLAN IS OF TREMENDOUS VALUE
TO INEXPERIENCED BUILDERS
The inexperience of the ordinary buikler is a handicap that
places him at the mercy of an unfeeling crowd of local material
men when his supplies are purchased at home. Friendships are
forgotten and he is considered legitimate prey. Obliged to trade
separately with dealers in various kinds of building material he
soon becomes entangled in a perplexing mass of confusing prob-
lems. Difficulties are encountered on every hand. Questions
constantly arise and decisions must be made from a fund of
knowledge soon discovered to be wholly inadequate to meet the
situation. He has not been trained in the complicated details
of building and quickly realizes his limitations.
From this point the work is carried on at the cost of cease-
less worry, frequent quarrels and a constantly increasing and
unnecessary expense that could have been entirely avoided under
our plan.
When a building is purchased from us the whole operation
is confined to a single transaction. Every detail is settled
before the work begins and you are relieved of all future worry.
You know to the penny just what the material will cost and
know that experts who assume all responsibility are behind the
work. Qualities and quantities are guaranteed.
Our plan has proven the most desirable from the standpoint
of economy and satisfaction.
Eliminate Worry and Save Time
Eliminate Worry, Save Time, avoid the incessant bother
usually considered a necessary part of building.
Our plan makes it easy and safe for you to build without
taking your time from other occupations. All your material is
purchased from but one source, all arrangements are completed
to your entire satisfaction before you pay a single dollar and
behind the whole transaction stands our §10,000.00 bonded
guarantee.
Quarrels and unpleasant disputes with your local paint
dealer, your lumber dealer, your hardware merchant, your roofer,
your stair builder, your glass man, and many other material
men are avoided. Ask your friend or neighbor who has passed
through the trying ordeal of building what this means to you.

CHICAGO MILLWORK SUPPLY CO.'S PLAN
OFFERS AN ENORMOUS SAVING
IN DOLLARS AND CENTS
With every set of working blue prints and specifications we send a
complete itemized list of all building material necessary to complete the
house, consisting of all lumber, lath, shingles, flooring, doors, windows,
millwork, finishing material, trim, glass, hardware, sash weights, nails,
spouting, guttering, tinwork and painting material. We guarantee a
sufficient amount of the above to construct the building according to
our plans.
We also tell you exactly what these goods will cost you with all
freight charges prepaid by us to your railroad station. After the order
is placed there is nothing to worry about, no further bother and no freight
for you to pay.
Our iron-clad guarantee covers the amount of material and the
quality of all goods. It also guarantees that our price will buy all the
material needed. There will be no "extras."
You secure at the very outset a complete set of working plans and
specifications that any architect would charge for at the rate of from
S75.00 to $150.00. This amount is thus available to apply on the purchase
price of your home.
Our plan of selling direct from factory to builder will posi-
tively save you from one-quarter to one-half the cost of your new
home or enable you to build a bigger house for the money you
have to spend.
Remember we specify and furnish only the best grades of
building material.
HOW TO SECURE OUR WORKING PLANS,
SPECIFICATIONS and LIST of MATERIAL
FREE
Carefully study the designs and floor plans of the buildings
shown in this book and select the one that pleases you most.
Then write us telling us the number of the house for which
you wish to get plans, and enclose SI. 50 with your request, as a
temporary deposit. _ We shall then immediately send you the
plans, working drawings, specifications and complete bill of material.
Let us know where the house is to be built or your nearest railroad
station and we can then figure the freight and toil you exactly
what the material will cost you with freight prepaid by us direct
to your town.
When you order the material we shall let the SI. 50 sent us
apply as part payment of the order. Thus you secure plans, for
which your architect would charge you S75.00 to -5150.00, absolutely
free.
We are obliged to request the small sum of $1.50 with order
for the plans to protect ourselves from curiosity seekers who have
no intention of building.
REVERSED PLANS
Plans for any of our stock designs may be furnished
"reversed," that is, the arrangement of all rooms will be
just the opposite of that which appears on the original
plan, but all printed matter will be backwards. For this
reason with all reversed plans, we also supply the regular
stock plan so that all sizes, directions, etc., will be per-
fectly clear. Our price for reversed plans is $2.50 per
set, including specifications and list of material. This
amount to be credited as part payment of your J)ill pro-
viding your material is ordered from us.
FREIGHT CHARGES
Freight charges are very low. We secure for you the lowest
special commodity rate which is exactly the same as that paid
by the country's largest shippers. With our plans we send you
a letter stating exactly what our material will cost laid down at
your station, all freight charges paid by us.

BUILD RIGHT
Make Your Home a Credit to Yourself and Your Community
LET YOUR HOME REFLECT YOUR
OWN INDIVIDUALITY
Let your home reflect your own individuality, make it dis-
tinctive, let it show something of your own character, make it
a home in the truest sense of the word.
Do not depend too much upon the ideas and suggestions
of your local architects and builders. They are, in a measure,
bound by local conditions, and their ideas are necessarily
limited to the use of local stocks of building material.
Our plans have been prepared by some of the best licensed
architects in the country, in co-operation with recognized
authorities on millwork and building material. Men of wide
experience, well and favorably known in the professions and
building trades.
Do you realize the immense value of such plans to you?
The advantages are tenfold.
1. These buildings embody many of the best and
most modern features and ideas developed by actual builders
in all parts of this country and Europe.
2. The work is that of practical men. Nothing is
left to chance. All plans are carefully and accurately drawn
to a scale and are so plain that any carpenter or contractor can
easily understand them.
3. The possibility of errors is entirely eliminated.
Every measurement is correct, every plan has been proven
right. There is no chance for costly mistakes.
4. The List of Material sent with every plan specifies
a sufficient quantity of building supplies to completely finish
the house according to our plans. We guarantee this. There
will be absolutely no "extras" required. The total amount of
such unforeseen charges often amounts to several hundred dollars
in ordinary building. Ask the home owners among your friends.
5. The specifications are complete in every detail
and protect your interests from the time ground is broken until
the house is finished. Conditions under which the building is
to be erected are fully outlined; grades of material are clearly
specified; the whole operation is reduced to a simple, economical
basis, which can be clearly understood before the work is begun.
6. Your time and attention may be devoted to your
ordinary duties while the work progresses. Building need
not interfere with your work. There will be no reason for

Our total estimate costs are conservative, and these prices will generally save 25%

SPECIAL ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THIS DESIGN
in securing the most room for the least expenditure possible. It has a splendid porch reaching
across the front and partly along one side, but aside from this feature an eflort has been made
to avoid costly ornamentation and useless frills. As a result we have a building that looks well
and contains six comfortable rooms at a very moderate cost.
From the front entrance one enters a short, well lighted vestibule which leads to the living
room, a comfortable room with a wide front bay window. The kitchen and dining room are on
opposite sides of the house separated by a small hall. Enclosed stairs to the second floor start
m the dining room.
Stairs to the basement start in the small kitchen hall. One of the features of the kitchen
is a built-in cabinet furnished with the millwork.
Clear southern yellow pine forms the interior trim for this house both upstairs and down.
It is to be given a coat of shellac and varnish. The outside is to be painted two coats your choice
of color. We supply paint and finishing material.

strength and rigidity. The roof is of the self-supporting
type and does away with all posts in the hay mow. The
stable ceiling is S feet in the clear. The building is unusually
well lighted and there are doors at both ends, allowing free

four sizes, namely, 48 feet, 64 feet, SO feet and 96 feet lontr

Economy Ready-Built Summer Houses
Attractive appearance
One of the principal demands of
the prospective owner is that his
rXiilaing shall first of all please the eye. It must be well planned
and nicely proportioned. Our Economy Ready Built Summer Houses
have been designed by architects who are fully alive to this fact and
who have succeeded in combining exterior beauty with interior com-
fort to a remarkable degree.
These buildings are made In Interlocking sections.
They are fitted complete and the house is first
Made in sections
erected in the factory. Every part is made to fit perfectly, and then num-
bered so that you can easily see just where each section belongs. When the
building reaches you all you have to do is to follow our simple directions by
bolting- all sections together and your house is ready for occupancy.
Simple directions I<; does not rea - uJre experienced help to assemble
— these ready-built-houses. Anyone can follow the
simple directions and blue prints we supply and bolt these sections together,
in most cases within a few hours after the material is received. All fitting
1s done at our factory so that the various parts will join perfectly.
Tools needed Tne onl > r tools needed are hammer, wrench, screw driver
■ \#vm ii^^uwu and ]evel These are furnished free with each house.
E3SV tO erect Tne P la ' nl y marked sections Interlock. Each
* fits perfectly in Its proper place and can-
not be used elsewhere, therefore, it is impossible to make a mis-
take. The smaller houses may easily be bolted together by two
men within a few hours; the larger buildings require a little
more time. The sections we supply are larger than those ordinarily
furnished for a ready-made building, which not only simplifies and
strengthens the work but also gives the house a better appearance.
All of these designs are re-
markably strong and rigid,
In fact they are fully as substantial as any similar permanent
building and will easily withstand the most severe storms. They
are intended as permanent buildings but may be easily taken apart
and moved when necessary.
Looks like a permanent building
May be made permanent
Our Ready
Built Houses
have the appearance of permanent buildings, which they are in re-
ality, since very few are ever moved after the parts are first as-
sembled. The sections are built 6 ft., 8 ft. and 10 ft. wide where
possible, which not only adds to the appearance, but also makes the
building much stronger than one built with narrow sections.
A large proportion of these buildings
are used as permanent homes. They
are more substantial, and are much stronger than the ordinary building of equal
cost. When intended as a permanent residence the house is often lined with
Monarch Wall Board, described on page No. 55. This forms double outside
walls and makes the building as snug and warm as any house erected right on
the ground.
Subst antial as the house you live in T b sJ£* that tne " e
— ■ - ■ J buildings are made
in sections and are Ready Built does not in any way mean that they are less
substantial than a building erected in the ordinary way. In fact, they are
stronger, better and more rigid tban any ordinary house you could possibly build
for the same amount of money.

Good on Steep or Flat Roofs
Two-thirds of the total weight of this Roofing is Waterproofing material. In the manufacture of ECONOMY RUBBER ROOFING nothing but the best of
materials are used); the basis being a long fibred WOOLBN FELT which is saturated and coated with PURE ASPHALTS, it is then finished with ground MICA which
adds to its FIRE and WEATHER RESISTING qualities, as well as giving it a bright appearance, quite different to the ordinary black roofings. Nothing is used in the
manufacture of this roofing that we know will not make it last in any climate and under the most exacting conditions. It is TOUGH, PLIABLE and ELASTIC.
EVERY ROLL
GUARANTEED
It will not run in warm weather
when applied to a steep roof on account
of its unusual flexibility — is equally
well adapted for flat or uneven sur-
faces. Can be laid over old shingles.
It is odorless, nothing being used in
its composition that will affect or dis-
color rain water. Lasts longer than
shingles and costs half what shingles
cost. Can be applied in winter or in
summer without danger of expanding,
contracting or buckling, a feature
which cannot fail to be appreciated by
people experienced in roofing business.

Place a red hot coal or a

soften and boil up the rich

MONARCH WALL BOARD
Monarch Wall Board for Walls and Ceiling. This attic
made into a handsome study and library.
Monarch W ail Board If m * dc of hea jy fil > re
— board cemented to-
gether under heavy pressure with the best refined
asphalts. The asphalt insulations between the sheets
of fibre makes Monarch Wall Board damp proof and
vermin proof; as well as stronger and warmer than
the ordinary lath and plaster wall. In addition to
the asphalt insulations Monarch Wall Board is given
a coat of special waterproofing on both sides which
makes it practically impervious to moisture or
dampness.
In Comparin g the Cost ° f Monarch wail
a Board with lath and
plaster, remember that plaster is charged for by the
square yard and no deductions are made for open-
ings, and an extra charge is usually made for clos-
ets, stairways, and all irregular spaces. When you
use Monarch Wall Board you only pay for the actual
amount of space covered; and while the cost is usu-
ally less you obtain a much more satisfactory job.
There is no repair expense after Monarch Wall
Board is properly applied.
Monarch Putty and Shellac
If you wish to apply wall paper or burlap, the joints
should be filled with Monarch putty to prevent the paper
cracking at the joints. Monarch putty seals the joints
permanently. One pound of this puttv is sufficient for
about 150 lineal feet of joint. After the joints are filled
with Monarch putty it is essential that they be given a
coat of shellac. A pint of shellac is sufficient for an
average size room.

Monarch Wall Board **", no * crack or fall off as

teriorate with age, but will last as long as the building stands.
Monarch Wall Board is a non-conductor of heat and cold
and will save a great deal of fuel in cold weather.
Monarch Wall Board * s . a Poetical and economical
— ■ — ; ; lining for any style or type of
building. It is used in residences, summer cottages, portable
houses, barns, poultry houses, garages, factories and offices
of all kinds with entire satisfaction. It will enable you to
transform your attic into a cozy bedroom or playroom for
the children; divide large rooms into smaller rooms at slight
expense; build a laundry room in the basement; or make a
cold outbuilding into a comfortable workshop. You can do
the work yourself at odd times, and save all the litter and
muss of a plaster job.
LATH AND PLASTER
Monarch Wall Boa rd is made in sheets about 54-inch
thick and 32 inches wide by 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 feet long. The ceiling boards are ap-
plied first and should be ordered long enough to reach clear
to the wall studs, permitting the wall sheets to fit up snugly
under them. The side wall sheets should be ordered long
enough to reach from the floor to the ceiling.
It Presents an Even, Smooth Surface That May Be
Papered, Painted, Calcimined,
Decorated or Treated
Just as One Would Treat a Plastered Wall
Monarch Wall Board is nailed directly to the studding
< ; — ■ ■ — and ceiling joists, and as soon
as it is applied the room is ready for the decoration. Any
carpenter or handy man can apply Monarch Wall Board.
Complete directions for applying accompany each shipment.
Monarch Wall Board is applied with 3 penny flat head
; nails if you wish to decorate
with wall paper or burlap; or with 3 penny finishing nails if
to be decorated with paint or tint, except on all ceilings flat
head nails should be used. If applied over old plaster 6
penny nails should be used. It requires about iy 2 lbs. of nails
for each hundred square feet of wall board.

HOW TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH PAINT YOU NEED
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOR COMBINATION
One of the principle tilings in color harmony la the selection of colors which will tend to blend one
Into the other. Bright, glaring colors, such as green and blue, should not be used together; nor should
bright rea and blue. The following combinations are always pleasing and harmonious. The selection,
however, must be governed somewhat by the surroundings:
No. 1 Gray, trimmed with White; No. 2 Olive, trimmed with White; No. 3 Buff, trimmed with
Olive: No. 4 Terra Cotta, trimmed with Brown, is an extremely durable combination and will last for
years wUhout becoming tiresome to the eye. Never select Cold Grays and Green in combination; In
a short time these colors will become Irksome— a condition which never exists with soft warm browns.
DArVB , JTTJB f rV_aTX'
Measure the length, width and height of the building; add together the total number of
feet in the two sides and two ends; then multiply this amount by the number of feet high,
which will give you the total amount of square feet to be painted. Make no allowance for
doors or windows; figure as if for a solid surface. Divide the total number of square feet by
250, which is about the number of 9quare feet one gallon of our paint will cover — two coats—
the result will give you the number of gallons of paint required (see table).
Wearwell Paint will cover from 850 to 300 square feet, two coats, to each gallon.

Suppose your building measures 20 feet
wide, 30 feet long and 20 feet high-

Shingle
Stain
Is made of genuine creo-
sote oil and will preserve
your shingles better than any
other stain on the market.
Creosote oil is tho greatest
wood preservative known. This
stain penetrates further and
does not evaporate, nor is it
affected by the sun's rays, as
is the case with shingle
stains made of composition
oils. It effectually prevents
absorption of moisture and
renders the surface proof against decay, whether exposed to the elements or to dry
rot. We recommend that shingles lie dipped in stain before being laid. By dip-
ping, both sides of the shingle are better preserved, as the stain penetrates into
aU parts of the wood. When dipped about 2% to 2% gallons will cover 1,000
shingles. Only two-thirds of the shingle need be dipped. Brush work should
have two coats to completely saturate the wood. One gallon will cover about 100
square feet two coats.

it. It must resist the hard pound of the heel. The
best varnish that can be made should only be used as
a floor covering. Wearwell Durable Floor Varnish meets
all floor requirements. It Is especially prepared to with-
stand the hard knocks to which floors are subjected. It
is very elastic, durable and waterproof. It will not mar
or scratch white and, what the housewife appreciates
most, varnished floors are easily kept clean. Works
easily, hence anyone can put it on. Dries hard over

Warm Air Furnace. Can be equipped for
burning either hard or soft coal
The Construction of Our Furnace
The superiority of our heaters has been proven by
actual service. Our furnace castings are made from a
mixture of high grade northern ore that insures great
durability. Repair orders are practically unknown
to tis. Every furnace is carefully inspected to see that
it is right before it is permitted to leave the factory.
Our furnace is powerful and economical, of a
standard type, built for first class residence work. It
has a heavy cast iron dome directly above the fire,
made very strong to withstand the intense heat, and is
deeply corrugated to increase the radiating surface.
The combustion is forced to travel completely around
a heavy steel plate radiator, made extra strong.
An unusually large air space is provided between
the castings of this furnace and the outside casings.
This prevents the discharge of over-heated air into the
living room and assures a large volume of warm air
rather than a small quantity of extremely hot air.
Our furnaces are equipped with a patented anti-
clinker grate that 'is practically indestructible. It is
almost impossible to burn them out owing to the
manner they are constructed. The removal of ashes
is made easy by a large ash pit door.
When ordering, be sure to state whether you use
hard or soft coal. Special grates for burning wood
may be had when desired.
instead. The latter however are not necessary if you draw a sketch
showing the location of all rooms, doors, windows, stairs and chimneys
with inside dimensions of all rooms. State plainly the kind of equip-
ment wanted — whether warm air, steam or hot water and the kind of
fuel you will burn. Also give size of chimney flue and let us know if
you expect to install the plant without outside assistance. State kiud
of home and construction of walls, also height of ceilings.
All of our heaters are carefully shipped in a manner that insures
their arrival at destination in first class condition. All parts are
numbered in a manner that enables you to assemble the parts and set
up the furnaces without trouble. A complete plan, which is easily
understood, accompanies each order.
Warm Air, Steam or Hot Water
It is a difficult matter to advise offhand the method of heating
best suited to homes in general. Much depends upon the character of
the individual building aud the uses to which it is put. Each system
has its good points and it is impossible to say definitely which is best.
No matter whether you prefer warm air, steam or hot water, our
equipment will be found best suited to your needs. We have made an
exhaustive study of residence heating aud have perfected our furnaces
and boilers until they stand without a peer in their respective fields.
Steam and Hot Water Boiler
Our Boilers may be equipped to
burn either hard or soft coal, but we
must know when order is placed,
what you contemplate using.
It is our endeavor to produce the
best residence heating equipment to
be found on the market, regardless
of cost. Our boilers are made en-
tirely of cast iron so constructed as
to provide perfect expansion aud
contraction. The joints in the
boiler are made with heavy lathe
turned cast iron push nipples, iron
to iron --the most perfect joint
known to mechanics. The fire pot
is so constructed as to secure the
best results with the minimum
amount of fuel. While the fire is
entirely surrounded by water, the
coal is kept avjy from the chilling
surface by a series of points which
also serve to increase the heating
surface. With a flue of average
draft, these boilers show almost
perfect combustion.
The ash pit is extra deep and is
fitted with anti-clinker grates which
permit the use of the cheaper grades
of fuel.
The steam boiler has a dome
sufficiently large to store an ample
supply of steam above the water
line. The water dome divides the
water in a manner that compels it to
absorb all the heat and leave the
boiler at the highest possible tem-
perature.
There are no packed joints on
these boilers.
We shall gladly let you know just what any desired heating equip-
ment will cost you with freight paid to your statiou. Every hing
complete ready to set up and in such shape that anyone handy with
tools can do the work.
Shipment made from factory near Toledo, Ohio.
This Boiler equipped for
either steam or hot water
heating will keep your house
warm in the coldest weather
